The inspection was conducted as a complaint investigation regarding allegations that staff forcefully assisted a resident into a chair and concerns about staff giving residents medications without trying other interventions to manage behavior problems such as anxiety, as well as unresolved grievances related to medication use.

Failed provider practices were identified and citations written related to the lack of updated NSPs.
Complaint Details
The complaint investigation was substantiated with findings that NSPs were not updated to include behavioral interventions. Resident representatives had no concerns about staff care or grievance resolution.
